Here are some suggestions from the EOI students:
In my village, San Martin de Valdeiglesias, we eat a lot of dairy produce, as well as meat, fish, chicken and lamb. Most people don’t eat many vegetables, though. Here you can also eat typical food from Italy and Turkey. In Holy Week you can also eat sweets which are typical of this time of the year, like ‘torrijas’, which are fried slices of bread soaked in milk and eggs and finally wrapped up in sugar, ‘huesos de santo’, or ‘buñuelos’. You can also eat ‘potaje’, a typical Easter stew made with beans, chickpeas, spinach and cod. It’s delicious! The traditional local drink is wine, which is made here, and there are two types: red and white.
In my town, there are quite a few traditional dishes. One dish is “sopas de ajo”. It´s a soup with garlic and paprika which you mix with sliced bread. Another traditional dish is “ancas de rana”. This is made with frogs´ legs with a hot and red sauce.
For dessert, we have “yemas”. This is similar to cream caramel but it´s better. We have “imperiales” too. It´s a special cake with a lot of almonds. Both are delicious.
In my city, Madrid, the traditional local dish is 'cocido' a very complete stew, I think. First, we serve a soup. After that, the chickpeas with vegetables. Finally, the meat (chicken,beef and sausages).
We eat a lot of meat, we should have more fish. We can get fast food like pizza, hamburgers and hot dogs, above all the children! We eat a lot of dairy products like milk, yoghurt and cheese.
For dessert, we have fresh fruit, ice cream, 'natillas', rice puding and cake, as well. We eat a lot of typical sweets: 'torrijas' in Easter; doughnuts 'tontas' and 'listas' for San Isidro's Day, the 15th May
(the patron saint of Madrid); 'buñuelos de viento' and 'huesos de santo' for All Saints Day; and a lot of kinds of 'turrón' in Christmas Time.
Finally, we drink a lot of water, but we also drink wine, beer and 'sangría' (this is an alcoholic drink made with fruits, sugar and wine, so you mustn't drink a lot!).
